Very interesting. Just a wishlist comment: should LWN's revenues get to 
the point of being able to support expansion, I'd personally vote for 
more regular coverage of what's going on in X...a "weekly X page" would 
be ideal, but even monthly would be great. (Obviously, you do some X 
features already, and they are appreciated.) X seems to be a part of the 
greater Linux ecosystem that is particularly ripe for progress, and it 
would be fun to have LWN's help in monitoring that progress.

LCA: Two talks on the state of X

Seconded!  I too would very much like a section devoted to X and related topics.

The part of LWN I personally enjoy the most is the kernel section, but I think an X section
would compete for my interest.

Indeed, LWN's taking it up might attract more developers to improving X.

I've been trying for years to improve our coverage of X. It's hard, though - there's a lot that goes on out of sight. That's part of why I tend to write so many X-related articles at conferences; that's when I can really learn about what's going on.

One of the places I've found that has a lot of interesting content (after filtering out the
bugzilla noise) is the dri-devel list.

Here's an interesting thread Dave Airlie started yesterday that features many of the prominent
players:
